IMPROVEMENT IN MACHINE FOR TWISTING- JACK-BANDS.

Thechedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all 'whom it ma/y conce/rn.-

- Be itknownthat I, J. COLLIER, of Morenci, inthe county of Lenawee, andState of Michigan, have inwanted a new and useful Improvement inMachines for Twisting J ack-Bands; and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof,

l which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawiu'gs,forming part of thisspecification, in

Which- Figure 1 represents .a side elevation of my improved machine, and

V Figure 2 vrepresents a plan View, with a part broken away.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

The object of this invention is to provide a simple and improved,machine 'for twisting jack-bands., and other similar cords.

It consists of an arrangement of rotating hooks, and

a stationary hook, for twisting the yarn, with the de- Usaid whcelout ofgear with the pinion on the shaft B.

H represents a hook arranged upon the upper end of 'a vibrating bar, I,pivoted to the bench, and arranged to be limited in the amount of itsvibration, and provided with a coiled spling, K, and a loop at its lowerend.

L represents a lever, pivoted adj ustably at L to a bar dependent fromthe bench, and arranged at one end to drop between the hub of the wheelC and the bearing of the 'shaft of the said wheel. The other end issupported in the loop of the lever I, and is bent as shown in iig. 1.

'Ihe yarn is securedto one of the hooks F, and passed around the hook Hto the other hook, F, the machine is set in operation, and the yarn istwisted. men it has been twisted the requisite amount, the hook H willhave been drawn towards the 'twisting-hooks, and against the action ofthe spring K, sufciently to allow the bent end of the bar L to fall outof the loop in the rod I, thereby raising the other end out of the spacebetween the hub of the wheel C and the bearing, allowing the spring G tothrow th'e wheels out of gear, and stopv the machine. p

The yarn is then taken from the hook H, and placed on the yielding andtwisting-hook F', and the machine set in motion again, when the cordwill be iinished, as will be readily understood.

In twisting the two parts together, a stick may be held between them, toprevent them from winding together too fast.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Pat ent The combinationof the hook H, levers I and L,

Vsliding wheel C, hooks F,.and springs G K, substantially as and for thepurpose described.

` COLLIER.
